REVIEW ARTICLE: A review of the modelling of free-radical photopolymerization in the formation of holographic gratings

In this paper a brief review of the theoretical modelling of free-radical photopolymerization, which has been discussed in the literature, is presented. Particular attention is given to identifying the key contributions of each work and the common assumptions made in the derivation of each model. The overview enables the recognition of outstanding issues, which have not yet been incorporated into a fully comprehensive theoretical model of the complex photochemical processes that occur during photopolymerization.
